ASLMC has a lot of cardiac floors both step down and ICU, ortho, medsurg, neuro, and oncology. It is a very, very fast paced hospital to work in however, you will learn a lot. Try and figure out what your interests are then apply.
Thanks for your response! It makes a lot of sense and is encouraging to know that someone likes their job as a nurse. The hospital that I work at is very large and is respected from the outside community, however internal management, staffing and p...
